Is is possible to add too many inverts for the purpose of cleaning your tank? I have to place an order today online for a few inhabitants but have noticed that most of them come in groupings. I have a 55 gal with only one clownfish, 5 nassarius snails, 5 astrea, and about only 3 hermits. I have a green hair algae and aptasia problem and have to get some things in there to naturally take care of it. I do not want to dose with harmful meds. Will I be ok to add 5 peppermint shrimp, 3 emerald crabs, and 5 sand sifting crabs to a 55 gal? Also can you tell me what is good about cleaning up the diatoms in between the glass and sand besides snails? They are not doing a good job there. Will I need to feed these inverts?
